Thought this might help people (like me) to refer back to when picking tracks on the playstation. Top Tier: Imola: Considers it a spectacular circuit. Jeddah: Praises it for the driving experience among new circuits. Zandvoort: Enjoys the fast and flowing nature of the track. Interlagos: Holds a special place as his first F1 win. Silverstone: One of the best circuits on the calendar. Suzuka: Another top circuit, similar to Silverstone. Spa-Francorchamps: A classic and highly praised circuit. Between Great and Top Tier: Monaco: Considers it a great circuit, but challenging for racing. Great: Budapest: Likes the fast and flowing nature of the track. Austin: Considers it a fun track. Singapore: Thinks it's a great street circuit. Qatar: One of the most enjoyable new circuits. Monza: Fast, flowing, and good for racing. Between Solid and Great: Montreal: Its a good one Melbourne: A cool track, but changes made it worse for driving and better for racing. Solid: Barcelona: Thinks it's a good track but not great. Abu Dhabi: Considers it a solid track. Bahrain: Always nice to visit and race there. Between Meh and Solid: Las Vegas: Unable to rank due to not having seen the track layout or driven it on the simulator, but gives it the benefit of the doubt. Meh: Mexico City: Loves the fans and the city, but not the circuit itself. Baku: Great for racing, but not as exciting for driving. Red Bull Ring: Puts it in meh category, seemingly as a joke based on the name.

[@strangemachines_]

I love how Spa is always just an automatic top tier no matter who you ask. It’s like the most beloved track in F1 history. And for good reason who doesn’t love Spa and the weather change races we’ve had over the years, the Schumacher Hakkinen duels and the crashes. And as is unfortunately the way with motor racing we’ve had some very tragic moments there. I’ll never forget how quick Kimi used to be at Spa in his McLaren days gosh that car sounded like bliss.

[@mikloslipcsey7923]

Budapest: ‘fast and flowing…’. Fast? It’s one of the slowest tracks in the calendar. Flowing? Oh, yes. Watching Senna, Prost, Berger and the eventual winner Boutsen in action in 1990 was an absolute treat; a very eventful race. I went with my cousin and his wife to the race, situated in the grandstand overlooking the chicane at the top of the track. It was amazing to see the cars dance from corner to corner: it was graceful to behold. A wonderful - albeit very warm - day.

Haha total honesty and top tier rating from George, I like that 👍

[@Atticvs32]

That's generally my rankings as well - which is nice to see, because I've been trying to rank these (plus many more circuits form other series) overall for personal use for years now based on how they drive in ACC, AC, rF2 and sims in general. Great to see I judged especially the new (or new-old) ones well with Imola, Zandvoort and Jeddah getting in among the best ones for me as well. (Everyone sort of knows the "old guard" top tier is like a mantra - Spa, Silverstone, Monaco, Monza, Suzuka and Interlagos, no surprises there, with Monza a bit down as it's a bit simpler layout than the others.) The ones I don't agree with are Hungaroring, Barcelona, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. (And Red Bull Ring, but that was obviously a joke in the vid as well, otherwise it'd probably be a Great one) I drive GTs in the sims so that might influence things, but I think Hungaroring doesn't 'flow' nearly as well in a GT3 and is just frustrating, slow and simple apart from T4. Barcelona I think will surprise even F1 without the chicane when they go there later this year, and Abu Dhabi's layout changes really helped - less low-speed, more flat-out and medium-speed banked stuff - plus in a GT car, T2-3 become corners (high-speed) and the T9-10-11 braking zone is more challenging as well. Bahrain's T9-10 is also more difficult in a GT and T12 becomes a high-speed corner. All these three move up to Great in my book.

[@timeluster]

Hungaroring I think is one of the most underrated F1 tracks. Hard to compete when sandwiched between Silverstone and Spa on the calendar but is a short and pretty breathless circuit that always seems to produce close racing. You're right in GT cars though, they don't have the downforce for the very fast sections, and it is very slow round the last two corners.

Zandvoort is narrow and short but somehow feel this old school circuit must be simply awesome to drive , not on Suzuka , Spa level but it has become my secret favorite
